Last night, President Barack Obama appeared on The Tonight Show for a bit of fun. With just six months left in office and a Hawaiian family vacation coming up this summer, Obama unwound with Jimmy Fallon by presenting a cool, jazzy R&B retrospective of his presidency.

Fallon added, “When Republicans gave him lemons, he made so much lemonade, Beyonce started calling him ‘Baracky with the good hair.'” Questlove and the Roots also pitched in some jokes and musical gags — but the most presidential bits were left to the sitting president.

In the same episode, Madonna performed a tasteful arrangement of her 80s hit, “Borderline.” Following her divisive Prince tribute, the set marked a refreshing and unimpeachable return to form—she even snagged a photo with the President.
